The world-famous actor, best known for his role in the ‘Rocky’ franchise, has responded to personal attacks on Jake Paul following the ‘problem child’s win over Mike Tyson.
Sylvester Stallone apologizes to Jake Paul.
After Jake Paul slammed Mike Tyson earlier this month, there were accusations throughout the boxing community that the fight may have been fixed, with Sylvester Stallone weighing in on the outcome.
The actor, who rose to fame in the boxing movie “Rocky,” posted a now-deleted post on Instagram shortly after the fight, saying Tyson “saved Paul’s life.”
“Business is business. Sometimes you have to do hard things and make sacrifices to help your family,” Stallone wrote. “Jake, please be grateful. He saved your life!” Stallone said.

It’s safe to say that Paul wasn’t the most pleased with what Stallone had to say, and the ‘Problem Child’ was quick to write his own response.
The 26-year-old didn’t hold his tongue when answering the actor. “I have always looked up to you as a child, but now you are the one spreading lies against my name. I’m sorry to see you fall. “Maybe it’s all plastic surgery.”
While Paul was clearly disappointed with Stallone’s reaction to the win, the Instagram post has since been deleted and the 78-year-old replaced it with a much more positive note.
“Just to set my personal record straight after seeing the best man win for the second time that night. I apologize. “Keep hitting me.”
Stallone’s guess seems fair, as Paul admitted to holding Tyson at the end of the fight and confessed that he didn’t want to cause any more harm to the boxing icon than was necessary.
He got a lot of hate after the match, but Paul probably doesn’t care what people think. Because the fight with Tyson broke all kinds of records, with 65 million viewers watching ‘Iron Mike’ return to the ring.
